| dc.description.abstract | From my witnessing of the hermetic and sublime symptoms of schizophrenia, I began an investigation into a constellation between madness and its silent signs. I am interested in a world that is inaccessible, which by its very nature has made my investigation into the nexus of silence and madness an intimate confrontation with a relentless and unpredictable barrier. A body of visual art entitled music from another room resulted from my critical readings and studio experimentation. My intention is to highlight less apparent or obvious aspects of schizophrenia and visually represent their intervals and interruptions. I have sought to develop work that can present, in another way, the silent signs in madness; thus promoting further understanding of schizophrenia as an illness and a human condition. Derrida describes the madman as the perfect stranger and asks for the face of this stranger not to be continuously overlooked. I intended this body of work, as the outcome of my research and studio practice, to contribute to a greater understanding of the human condition by finding another way to represent the silent aspects of schizophrenia. Kelly Oliver (1995) writes ‘in the first case we are silenced by the impossibility of saying any thing more and in the second we are silenced by the impossibility of ever saying enough | |
